Just to get a thread started--how do you stow things on deck? How do you make sure they don't get washed away by a particularly nasty wave?
One thing we've done is to create a couple of canvas (Sunbrella) bags that hang on the lifelines. We put the big gennaker, oars, boat hook, long lines for various things, and other stuff. They hold the pump for the dink, the anchor windlass remote--the list goes on.
We threaded both the upper and lower lifelines through the bags (thre are reinforcing tapes and grommets as well as "tubes" of chafe-resistant fabric). The bottom is Phifertex mesh so that the bags will drain and allow some air circulation.

Does anyone else have some on-deck stowage solutions?
